Authorisation for extracting all SPIRAL1 beams for LIRAT should be obtained. Peter Butler GANIL 2015 – Open Meeting March 9, 2009 LIRAT SISSI should not be replaced by an identical SISSI2: not internationally competitive in 2015 concentrate on SPIRAL2 A detailed study should be initiated that considers upgrading the LISE2000 beam line with a velocity filter and a magnetic spectrometer Peter Butler GANIL 2015 – Open Meeting March 9, 2009 Fragmentation studies: LISE and SISSI The community has enthusiastically endorsed the proposal for a new 100-150 MeV/nucleon postaccelerator that will allow fragmentation of neutron-rich fission products. This is outside of the scope of GANIL 2015 Nevertheless, GANIL should launch a preliminary, conceptual design study of a new post-accelerator that does not commit significant resources. This study should take advantage of related activity carried out within the EURISOL Design Study Peter Butler GANIL 2015 – Open Meeting March 9, 2009 Fragmentation studies: the future It is essential that there is provision of spectrometers/ separators for the study of reaction products, induced by SPIRAL2 beams, emitted at or close to the beam direction Detailed studies to allow the high intensity beams of SPIRAL2 into specifically identified caves have to be carried out, and for that purpose a working group should be nominated Peter Butler GANIL 2015 – Open Meeting March 9, 2009 Zero-degree studies I The velocity filter of LISE separator has been extensively used for fusion-evaporation reactions: implies a modification of the velocity filter - man-power intensive and not compatible with high beam intensities The detailed study that considers the enhancement of LISE for fragmentation studies should incorporate a parallel study for use for zero-degree operation with high-intensity RIB Peter Butler GANIL 2015 – Open Meeting March 9, 2009 Zero-degree studies II: LISE Zero-degree studies III: SPEG In future SPEG will use beams from SPIRAL1, SPIRAL2 for measurements of inelastic and transfer reactions in inverse kinematics (and stable beams for material science) all the changes to the focal plane detector setup, required to perform reaction measurements with beams from SPIRAL1 and SPIRAL2 should be implemented Peter Butler GANIL 2015 – Open Meeting March 9, 2009 The long-term usefulness of this instrument arises from its excellent performance and its versatility for different types of measurements VAMOS has been successfully used for: (i) fusion reactions using stable or RIB beams (ii) transfer reactions in inverse kinematics using RIB (iii) multi-nucleon transfer using heavy stable beams VAMOS has to be ready for zero-degree operation (fusion evaporation and inverse-kinematics transfer) studies using intense SPIRAL2 beams Improvements to the existing Wien filter and a detailed study of a beam dump with a separate permanent beamline are required Should accommodate large angle operation Peter Butler GANIL 2015 – Open Meeting March 9, 2009 Zero-degree studies IV: VAMOS High-resolution -ray spectroscopy with a Ge detector array is a very important part of the scientific programme of GANIL and SPIRAL2. The electronics should be renewed, funded by the international collaboration. As second priority the available number of Ge detectors should be increased. Peter Butler GANIL 2015 – Open Meeting March 9, 2009 EXOGAM The availability of a 4 detector with excellent isotopic and energy resolution enables sensitive studies of the isospin dependence of nuclear matter and its equation of state. It is important to complete the PHASE I - PHASE IV FAZIA implementation plans. These require the commitment of the international collaboration that will construct the device Peter Butler GANIL 2015 – Open Meeting March 9, 2009 INDRA/FAZIA GANIL provides energetic heavy ions and facilities for experiments in the fields of atomic physics, materials and condensed matter research as well as radio-biology and radio–chemistry. For material sciences: chopper relocation and intensity modulation For radiochemistry: reliable operation of pulse suppression For radiobiology: improving the beam stability For atomic physics: installing an analyzing magnet GANIL management is encouraged to keep allocating beam access to industrial users and to study the possibility of providing cocktail beams Peter Butler GANIL 2015 – Open Meeting March 9, 2009 INTERDISCIPLINARY / INDUSTRIAL PHYSICS Energy Intensity Beams Instrument Collective modes 50 MeV/u >10**6 38-50Ca, 56-70Ni, 96,98,100Zr LISE, EXOGAM, … Deformation properties 3-6 MeV/u >10**6 RIB + stable EXOGAM, LISE, VAMOS, … SHE 5 MeV/u >10**10 90-94Kr, LISE, VAMOS, EXOGAM, (S3) High Spin 5 MeV/u >10**9 92,94Kr, 132Sn, 140Xe, 152,154Nd EXOGAM, VAMOS,… Astrophysical reactions 1-3.5 MeV/u >10**9 74,76Kr, 108,110Sn, 120,122Xe, stable beams, neutron-rich 80-140, 170-200 LISE, EXOGAM Ground state, astrophysics low energy low intensity n-rich Be, n-rich close to N=50, N=82, close to p drip-line SIRa, LIRAT, (DESIR) Alpha clustering 10 - 40 MeV/u >10**4 36,40Ar EXOGAM, VAMOS, SPEG, … Quasi-molecular 4 - 30 MeV/u >10**5 n-rich Be, C, O, Ne, Mg, Si LISE, … Neutron pairing 6-10 MeV/u >10**4 132,134,136Sn, 144Xe, 6He VAMOS, SPEG, … p-n pairing 4-130 MeV/u >10**4 48Cr, 56Ni, 72Kr, 80Zr LISE, VAMOS, SPEG, … Shell evolution > 8 MeV/u >10**4 Neutron-rich C isotopes, 56Ni, 80Zn, 130Cd, 132Sn VAMOS, SPEG, EXOGAM, … Weakly-bound systems 5-20 MeVu >10**4 132, 134Sn, 134Te, 8Li, 14Be, 16-18C, 22-23O, VAMOS, SPEG, EXOGAM, … also stable Si, S, Ar, Ca or radioactive N=Z nuclei 27-28Ne, 30Na, 32-34Mg, 40S, 46-48Ar, 8486Se, 88-94Kr Fission, fusion < 5 MeV/u >10**8 10,15C, 14O, 132Sn, 238U, 64Ni, 16O VAMOS, EXOGAM, (S3) Nuclear thermodynamics 10-50 MeV/u > 10**6 106,112,120,132,136Sn, 56,64,74Ni, 78Zn, 94Kr, VAMOS, INDRA, … 96Sr, 72Kr, 114-145Xe, 122Cd, 90Kr,40,48Ca,58,64,74Ni Fundamental low energy > 10**6 8He, 18,19Ne, 34,35Ar,100Mo SIRa, EXOGAM, (DESIR),...
